Hello fellow computer scientists:
The Reno chapter of the Nevada NFB has been working with a CS
instructor in the development of making computer games accessible to
the blind; as well as welcoming him on board as a chapter member
representing the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).
He is currently seeking volunteers who would be interested in trying
out a bata version of a popular game that can be used by screen
readers.
The information is in the forwarded message below. Good luck and
have fun.
Sincerely,
Chun Chao
Northern Nevada NFB, Treasurer

Hi,
The university of nevada in Reno recently developed an application
called TextSL which allows visually impaired to access the popular
virtual world of Second Life using a screen reader. A beta version
of this application can be downloaded for free on: http://www.textsl.org
We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to participate in
user studies in the Spring semester of 2009.
Sincerely, Eelke Folmer
